46 Maidenhead Riverside Conservation Area Appraisal 8 Character Areas Rooflines Windows and doors Both red clay tile and Welsh slate roofs are in evidence. The 18 th century properties all feature slate hipped roofs, of a shallow pitch hidden behind brick parapet walls. The red clay roofs to the 19 th century development are of a much steeper pitch with a variety of ridges and gable ends fronting the highway elevation. Decorative features are commonplace on these properties, with timber bargeboards, exposed rafters and ornate terracotta ridge tiles and finials. Chimneys are a common functional feature, tending to be tall and brick built. Even on the smaller domestic properties the chimneys are large, ornate and prominent features of the buildings. Dormer windows are a common feature on the late 19 th century buildings, tending to be of a small scale and decorative. The windows on the 18 th century buildings are all of a classical style, of timber construction and painted white. The majority are vertical sliding sash subdivided with timber glazing bars. Oldfield Lodge features tall Palladian windows. The late 19 th century development has a well maintained selection of timber windows, again painted white. There is a mixture of side hung casements and vertical sliding sashes and the use of glazing bars varies to create decorative styles. Bay and oriel windows are commonly used. Doors are largely of timber construction on the majority of properties and are painted a variety of colours. The 18 th century buildings retain classical features such as glazed fanlights whilst the 19 th century dwellings feature open porches and partially glazed doors.
Maidenhead Riverside Conservation Area Appraisal 47 Character Areas 8 Facing Materials Special Features Local red brick is the dominant building material, with Oldfield Lodge being the exception constructed in a yellow stock brick. Most properties have exposed flemish bond although the later properties tend to utilise decorative features over the brickwork, particularly at upper level. This detailing includes applied timber framing, decorative hanging tiles, roughcast and smooth render, usually painted white. Decorative features reflective of the arts and crafts style give the area a distinct character. Turrets towers and full height bays are all utilised for decorative purposes and ornate terracotta features such as plaques, tiles and moulded parts are all utilised. Ornate front porches, decorative bargeboards and overhanging gable ends all contribute to the arts and crafts style. Garages and outbuildings are a common feature, with some surviving examples of early coach houses remaining, complimenting the design of the properties.
